DESCRIPTION

The present invention generally relates to substituted tetrahydrocarbazole and carbazole carboxamide compounds useful as kinase inhibitors, including the modulation of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) and other Tec family kinases such as Itk. Provided herein are substituted tetrahydrocarbazole and carbazole carboxamide compounds, compositions comprising such compounds, and methods of their use. The invention further pertains to pharmaceutical compositions containing at least one compound according to the invention that are useful for the treatment of conditions related to kinase modulation and methods of inhibiting the activity of kinases, including Btk and other Tec family kinases such as Itk, in a mammal.

Protein kinases, the largest family of human enzymes, encompass well over 500 proteins. Btk is a member of the Tec family of tyrosine kinases, and is a regulator of early B-cell development, as well as mature B-cell activation, signaling, and survival.

B-cell signaling through the B-cell receptor (BCR) leads to a wide range of biological outputs, which in turn depend on the developmental stage of the B-cell. The magnitude and duration of BCR signals must be precisely regulated. Aberrant BCR-mediated signaling can cause disregulated B-cell activation and/or the formation of pathogenic auto-antibodies leading to multiple autoimmune and/or inflammatory diseases. Mutation of Btk in humans results in X-linked agammaglobulinaemia (XLA). This disease is associated with the impaired maturation of B-cells, diminished immunoglobulin production, compromised T-cell-independent immune responses and marked attenuation of the sustained calcium signal upon BCR stimulation.

Evidence for the role of Btk in allergic disorders and/or autoimmune disease and/or inflammatory disease has been established in Btk-deficient mouse models. For example, in standard murine preclinical models of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Btk deficiency has been shown to result in a marked amelioration of disease progression. Moreover, Btk deficient mice are also resistant to developing collagen-induced arthritis and are less susceptible to Staphylococcus-induced arthritis.

A large body of evidence supports the role of B-cells and the humoral immune system in the pathogenesis of autoimmune and/or inflammatory diseases. Protein-based therapeutics (such as RITUXAN®) developed to deplete B-cells, represent an important approach to the treatment of a number of autoimmune and/or inflammatory diseases. Because of Btk's role in B-cell activation, inhibitors of Btk can be useful as inhibitors of B-cell mediated pathogenic activity (such as autoantibody production).

Btk is also expressed in mast cells and monocytes and has been shown to be important for the function of these cells. For example, Btk deficiency in mice is associated with impaired IgE-mediated mast cell activation (marked diminution of TNF-alpha and other inflammatory cytokine release), and Btk deficiency in humans is associated with greatly reduced TNF-alpha production by activated monocytes.

Thus, inhibition of Btk activity can be useful for the treatment of allergic disorders and/or autoimmune and/or inflammatory diseases including, but not limited to: SLE, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple vasculitides, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), myasthenia gravis, allergic rhinitis, multiple sclerosis (MS), transplant rejection, type I diabetes, membranous nephritis, inflammatory bowel disease, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, autoimmune thyroiditis, cold and warm agglutinin diseases, Evans syndrome, hemolytic uremic syndrome/thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (HUS/TTP), sarcoidosis, Sjögren's syndrome, peripheral neuropathies (e.g., Guillain-Barre syndrome), pemphigus vulgaris, and asthma.

In addition, Btk has been reported to play a role in controlling B-cell survival in certain B-cell cancers. For example, Btk has been shown to be important for the survival of BCR-Abl-positive B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells. Thus inhibition of Btk activity can be useful for the treatment of B-cell lymphoma and leukemia.

In view of the numerous conditions that are contemplated to benefit by treatment involving modulation of protein kinases, it is immediately apparent that new compounds capable of modulating protein kinases such as Btk and methods of using these compounds should provide substantial therapeutic benefits to a wide variety of patients.

U.S. Pat. No. 8,084,620 and WO 2011/159857 disclose tricyclic carboxamide compounds useful as kinase inhibitors, including the modulation of Btk and other Tec family kinases.

There still remains a need for compounds useful as Btk inhibitors and yet having selectivity over Jak2 tyrosine kinase. Further, there still remains a need for compounds useful as Btk inhibitors that have selectivity over Jak2 tyrosine kinase and also have improved potency in the whole blood BCR-stimulated CD69 expression assay.

Applicants have found potent compounds that have activity as Btk inhibitors. Further, applicants have found compounds that have activity as Btk inhibitors and are selective over Jak2 tyrosine kinase. Further still, applicants have found compounds that have activity as Btk inhibitors, are selective over Jak2 tyrosine kinase, and have improved potency in the whole blood BCR-stimulated CD69 expression assay. These compounds are provided to be useful as pharmaceuticals with desirable stability, bioavailability, therapeutic index, and toxicity values that are important to their drugability.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The first aspect of the present invention provides at least one compound of Formula (I):

wherein:

-   the two dotted lines represent either two single or two double     bonds; -   Q is:

-   R₁ is F, Cl, —CN, or —CH₃; -   R₂ is Cl or —CH₃; -   R₃ is —C(CH₃)₂OH or —CH₂CH₂OH; -   R_(a) is H or —CH₃; -   each R_(b) is independently F, Cl, —CH₃, and/or —OCH₃; and -   n is zero, 1, or 2.

Atropisomers are stereoisomers resulting from hindered rotation about a single bond axis where the rotational barrier is high enough to allow for the isolation of the individual rotational isomers. (LaPlante et al., J. Med. Chem., 54:7005-7022 (2011).)

The compounds of Formula (A):

have two stereogenic axes: bond (a) between the tricyclic tetrahydrocarbazole/carbazole group and the phenyl group; and bond (b) between the asymmetric heterocyclic dione group Q and the phenyl group. Due to the non-symmetric nature of the substitutions on the rings connected by the single bonds labeled a and b, and due to limited rotation about these bonds caused by steric hindrance, the compounds of Formula (A) can form rotational isomers. If the rotational energy barriers are sufficiently high, hindered rotations about bond (a) and/or bond (b) occur at rates that are slow enough to allow isolation of the separated atropisomers as different compounds. Thus, the compounds of Formula (A) can form four rotational isomers, which under certain conditions, such as chromatography on a chiral stationary phase, can be separated into individual atropisomers. In solution, the compounds of Formula (A) can be provided as a mixture of four diastereomers, or mixtures of two pairs of diastereomers, or single atropisomers.

For the compounds of Formula (A), the pair of rotational isomers formed by hindered rotation about stereogenic axis (a) can be represented by the compounds of Formula (I) and Formula (B) having the structures:

The compounds of Formula (I) and the compounds of Formula (B) were found to be separable and stable in solution at ambient and physiological temperatures. Additionally, rotational isomers are formed by hindered rotation about stereogenic axis (b). These two atropisomers of the compounds of Formula (I) were also found to be separable and stable in solution at ambient and physiological temperatures.

Chiral compounds, such as the compounds of Formula (A), can be separated by various techniques including Supercritical Fluid Chromatography (SFC). SFC, which is a form of normal phase HPLC, is a separation technique that uses super/subcritical fluid CO₂ and polar organic modifiers such as alcohols as mobile phases. (White et al., J. Chromatography A, 1074:175-185 (2005).)

and the compounds of Formula (B) having the structures of Formula (B-7) and (B-8):

The absolute spacial configurations of the atropisomers can be determined by single crystal x-ray crystallography.

The compounds of Formula (I) can be provided as individual atropisomers or as mixtures comprising the two atropisomers of Formula (I) in any proportions. The mixture of the two atropisomers of Formula (I) may optionally contain one or both atropisomers of Formula (B) in any proportions.

The compounds of Formula (I) in which R₁ is F, Cl, or —CH₃ correspond to the (R)-atropisomer with respect to the stereogenic axis formed by bond (a). The compounds of Formula (B) in which R₁ is F, Cl, or —CH₃ correspond to the (S)-atropisomer with respect to the stereogenic axis formed by bond (a).

The compounds of Formula (I) in which R₁ is —CN correspond to the (S)-atropisomer with respect to the stereogenic axis formed by bond (a). The compounds of Formula (B) in which R₁ is —CN correspond to the (R)-atropisomer with respect to the stereogenic axis formed by bond (a).

This invention encompasses all combinations of the aspects and/or embodiments of the invention noted herein. It is understood that any and all embodiments of the present invention may be taken in conjunction with any other embodiment or embodiments to describe additional embodiments. It is also to be understood that each individual element of the embodiments is meant to be combined with any and all other elements from any embodiment to describe an additional embodiment.

Definitions

The features and advantages of the invention may be more readily understood by those of ordinary skill in the art upon reading the following detailed description. It is to be appreciated that certain features of the invention that are, for clarity reasons, described above and below in the context of separate embodiments, may also be combined to form a single embodiment. Conversely, various features of the invention that are, for brevity reasons, described in the context of a single embodiment, may also be combined so as to form sub-combinations thereof. Embodiments identified herein as exemplary or preferred are intended to be illustrative and not limiting.

Unless specifically stated otherwise herein, references made in the singular may also include the plural. For example, “a” and “an” may refer to either one, or one or more.

As used herein, the phase “compounds” refers to at least one compound. For example, a compound of Formula (I) includes a compound of Formula (I) and two or more compounds of Formula (I).

Unless otherwise indicated, any heteroatom with unsatisfied valences is assumed to have hydrogen atoms sufficient to satisfy the valences.

The definitions set forth herein take precedence over definitions set forth in any patent, patent application, and/or patent application publication incorporated herein by reference.

Listed below are definitions of various terms used to describe the present invention. These definitions apply to the terms as they are used throughout the specification (unless they are otherwise limited in specific instances) either individually or as part of a larger group.

Throughout the specification, groups and substituents thereof may be chosen by one skilled in the field to provide stable moieties and compounds.

In accordance with a convention used in the art,

is used in structural formulas herein to depict the bond that is the point of attachment of the moiety or substituent to the core or backbone structure.

The phrase “pharmaceutically acceptable” is employed herein to refer to those compounds, materials, compositions, and/or dosage forms which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of human beings and animals without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response, or other problem or complication, commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio.

The compounds of Formula (I) can be provided as amorphous solids or crystalline solids. Lyophilization can be employed to provide the compounds of Formula (I) as amorphous solids.

It should further be understood that solvates (e.g., hydrates) of the Compounds of Formula (I) are also within the scope of the present invention. The term “solvate” means a physical association of a compound of Formula (I) with one or more solvent molecules, whether organic or inorganic. This physical association includes hydrogen bonding. In certain instances the solvate will be capable of isolation, for example when one or more solvent molecules are incorporated in the crystal lattice of the crystalline solid. “Solvate” encompasses both solution-phase and isolable solvates. Exemplary solvates include hydrates, ethanolates, methanolates, isopropanolates, acetonitrile solvates, and ethyl acetate solvates. Methods of solvation are known in the art.

In addition, compounds of Formula (I), subsequent to their preparation, can be isolated and purified to obtain a composition containing an amount by weight equal to or greater than 99% of a compound of Formula (I) (“substantially pure”), which is then used or formulated as described herein. Such “substantially pure” compounds of Formula (I) are also contemplated herein as part of the present invention.

“Stable compound” and “stable structure” are meant to indicate a compound that is sufficiently robust to survive isolation to a useful degree of purity from a reaction mixture, and formulation into an efficacious therapeutic agent. The present invention is intended to embody stable compounds.

“Therapeutically effective amount” is intended to include an amount of a compound of the present invention alone or an amount of the combination of compounds claimed or an amount of a compound of the present invention in combination with other active ingredients effective to act as an inhibitor to Btk, or effective to treat or prevent autoimmune and/or inflammatory disease states, such as multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis.

As used herein, “treating” or “treatment” cover the treatment of a disease-state in a mammal, particularly in a human, and include: (a) preventing the disease-state from occurring in a mammal, in particular, when such mammal is predisposed to the disease-state but has not yet been diagnosed as having it; (b) inhibiting the disease-state, i.e., arresting its development; and/or (c) relieving the disease-state, i.e., causing regression of the disease state.

The compounds of the present invention are intended to include all isotopes of atoms occurring in the present compounds. Isotopes include those atoms having the same atomic number but different mass numbers. By way of general example and without limitation, isotopes of hydrogen include deuterium (D) and tritium (T). Isotopes of carbon include ¹³C and ¹⁴C. Isotopically-labeled compounds of the invention can generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described herein, using an appropriate isotopically-labeled reagent in place of the non-labeled reagent otherwise employed. For example, methyl (—CH₃) also includes deuterated methyl groups such as —CD₃.

Compounds in accordance with Formula (I) can be administered by any means suitable for the condition to be treated, which can depend on the need for site-specific treatment or quantity of Formula (I) compound to be delivered.

Also embraced within this invention is a class of pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of Formula (I) and one or more non-toxic, pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers and/or diluents and/or adjuvants (collectively referred to herein as “carrier” materials) and, if desired, other active ingredients. The compounds of Formula (I) may be administered by any suitable route, preferably in the form of a pharmaceutical composition adapted to such a route, and in a dose effective for the treatment intended. The compounds and compositions of the present invention may, for example, be administered orally, mucosally, or parentally including intravascularly, intravenously, intraperitoneally, subcutaneously, intramuscularly, and intrasternally in dosage unit formulations containing conventional pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, adjuvants, and vehicles. For example, the pharmaceutical carrier may contain a mixture of mannitol or lactose and microcrystalline cellulose. The mixture may contain additional components such as a lubricating agent, e.g., magnesium stearate and a disintegrating agent such as crospovidone. The carrier mixture may be filled into a gelatin capsule or compressed as a tablet. The pharmaceutical composition may be administered as an oral dosage form or an infusion, for example.

For oral administration, the pharmaceutical composition may be in the form of, for example, a tablet, capsule, liquid capsule, suspension, or liquid. The pharmaceutical composition is preferably made in the form of a dosage unit containing a particular amount of the active ingredient. For example, the pharmaceutical composition may be provided as a tablet or capsule comprising an amount of active ingredient in the range of from about 0.1 to 1000 mg, preferably from about 0.25 to 250 mg, and more preferably from about 0.5 to 100 mg. A suitable daily dose for a human or other mammal may vary widely depending on the condition of the patient and other factors, but, can be determined using routine methods.

Any pharmaceutical composition contemplated herein can, for example, be delivered orally via any acceptable and suitable oral preparations. Exemplary oral preparations, include, but are not limited to, for example, tablets, troches, lozenges, aqueous and oily suspensions, dispersible powders or granules, emulsions, hard and soft capsules, liquid capsules, syrups, and elixirs. Pharmaceutical compositions intended for oral administration can be prepared according to any methods known in the art for manufacturing pharmaceutical compositions intended for oral administration. In order to provide pharmaceutically palatable preparations, a pharmaceutical composition in accordance with the invention can contain at least one agent selected from sweetening agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents, demulcents, antioxidants, and preserving agents.

A tablet can, for example, be prepared by admixing at least one compound of Formula (I) with at least one non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable excipient suitable for the manufacture of tablets. Exemplary excipients include, but are not limited to, for example, inert diluents, such as, for example, calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, lactose, calcium phosphate, and sodium phosphate; granulating and disintegrating agents, such as, for example, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium croscarmellose, corn starch, and alginic acid; binding agents, such as, for example, starch, gelatin, polyvinyl-pyrrolidone, and acacia; and lubricating agents, such as, for example, magnesium stearate, stearic acid, and talc. Additionally, a tablet can either be uncoated, or coated by known techniques to either mask the bad taste of an unpleasant tasting drug, or delay disintegration and absorption of the active ingredient in the gastrointestinal tract thereby sustaining the effects of the active ingredient for a longer period. Exemplary water soluble taste masking materials, include, but are not limited to, hydroxypropyl-methylcellulose and hydroxypropyl-cellulose. Exemplary time delay materials, include, but are not limited to, ethyl cellulose and cellulose acetate butyrate.

Hard gelatin capsules can, for example, be prepared by mixing at least one compound of Formula (I) with at least one inert solid diluent, such as, for example, calcium carbonate; calcium phosphate; and kaolin.

Soft gelatin capsules can, for example, be prepared by mixing at least one compound of Formula (I) with at least one water soluble carrier, such as, for example, polyethylene glycol; and at least one oil medium, such as, for example, peanut oil, liquid paraffin, and olive oil.

An aqueous suspension can be prepared, for example, by admixing at least one compound of Formula (I) with at least one excipient suitable for the manufacture of an aqueous suspension. Exemplary excipients suitable for the manufacture of an aqueous suspension, include, but are not limited to, for example, suspending agents, such as, for example, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethyl-cellulose, sodium alginate, alginic acid, polyvinyl-pyrrolidone, gum tragacanth, and gum acacia; dispersing or wetting agents, such as, for example, a naturally-occurring phosphatide, e.g., lecithin; condensation products of alkylene oxide with fatty acids, such as, for example, polyoxyethylene stearate; condensation products of ethylene oxide with long chain aliphatic alcohols, such as, for example heptadecaethylene-oxycetanol; condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol, such as, for example, polyoxyethylene sorbitol monooleate; and condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, such as, for example, polyethylene sorbitan monooleate. An aqueous suspension can also contain at least one preservative, such as, for example, ethyl and n-propyl p-hydroxybenzoate; at least one coloring agent; at least one flavoring agent; and/or at least one sweetening agent, including but not limited to, for example, sucrose, saccharin, and aspartame.

Oily suspensions can, for example, be prepared by suspending at least one compound of Formula (I) in either a vegetable oil, such as, for example, arachis oil; olive oil; sesame oil; and coconut oil; or in mineral oil, such as, for example, liquid paraffin. An oily suspension can also contain at least one thickening agent, such as, for example, beeswax; hard paraffin; and cetyl alcohol. In order to provide a palatable oily suspension, at least one of the sweetening agents already described hereinabove, and/or at least one flavoring agent can be added to the oily suspension. An oily suspension can further contain at least one preservative, including, but not limited to, for example, an anti-oxidant, such as, for example, butylated hydroxyanisol, and alpha-tocopherol.

Dispersible powders and granules can, for example, be prepared by admixing at least one compound of Formula (I) with at least one dispersing and/or wetting agent; at least one suspending agent; and/or at least one preservative. Suitable dispersing agents, wetting agents, and suspending agents are as already described above. Exemplary preservatives include, but are not limited to, for example, anti-oxidants, e.g., ascorbic acid. In addition, dispersible powders and granules can also contain at least one excipient, including, but not limited to, for example, sweetening agents; flavoring agents; and coloring agents.

An emulsion of at least one compound of Formula (I) thereof can, for example, be prepared as an oil-in-water emulsion. The oily phase of the emulsions comprising compounds of Formula (I) may be constituted from known ingredients in a known manner. The oil phase can be provided by, but is not limited to, for example, a vegetable oil, such as, for example, olive oil and arachis oil; a mineral oil, such as, for example, liquid paraffin; and mixtures thereof. While the phase may comprise merely an emulsifier, it may comprise a mixture of at least one emulsifier with a fat or an oil or with both a fat and an oil. Suitable emulsifying agents include, but are not limited to, for example, naturally-occurring phosphatides, e.g., soy bean lecithin; esters or partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, such as, for example, sorbitan monooleate; and condensation products of partial esters with ethylene oxide, such as, for example, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate. Preferably, a hydrophilic emulsifier is included together with a lipophilic emulsifier which acts as a stabilizer. It is also preferred to include both an oil and a fat. Together, the emulsifier(s) with or without stabilizer(s) make-up the so-called emulsifying wax, and the wax together with the oil and fat make up the so-called emulsifying ointment base which forms the oily dispersed phase of the cream formulations. An emulsion can also contain a sweetening agent, a flavoring agent, a preservative, and/or an antioxidant. Emulsifiers and emulsion stabilizers suitable for use in the formulation of the present invention include Tween 60, Span 80, cetostearyl alcohol, myristyl alcohol, glyceryl monostearate, sodium lauryl sulfate, glyceryl distearate alone or with a wax, or other materials well known in the art.

The compounds of Formula (I) can, for example, also be delivered intravenously, subcutaneously, and/or intramuscularly via any pharmaceutically acceptable and suitable injectable form. Exemplary injectable forms include, but are not limited to, for example, sterile aqueous solutions comprising acceptable vehicles and solvents, such as, for example, water, Ringer's solution, and isotonic sodium chloride solution; sterile oil-in-water microemulsions; and aqueous or oleaginous suspensions.

Formulations for parenteral administration may be in the form of aqueous or non-aqueous isotonic sterile injection solutions or suspensions. These solutions and suspensions may be prepared from sterile powders or granules using one or more of the carriers or diluents mentioned for use in the formulations for oral administration or by using other suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The compounds may be dissolved in water, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, ethanol, corn oil, cottonseed oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, benzyl alcohol, sodium chloride, tragacanth gum, and/or various buffers. Other adjuvants and modes of administration are well and widely known in the pharmaceutical art. The active ingredient may also be administered by injection as a composition with suitable carriers including saline, dextrose, or water, or with cyclodextrin (i.e., CAPTISOL®), cosolvent solubilization (i.e., propylene glycol) or micellar solubilization (i.e., Tween 80).

The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a non-toxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution, and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil may be employed, including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid find use in the preparation of injectables.

The inventive compounds also may be used to treat veterinary viral infections, such as lentivirus infections, including, but not limited to equine infectious anemia virus; or retro virus infections, including feline immunodeficiency virus, bovine immunodeficiency virus, and canine immunodeficiency virus.

When the terms “Btk-associated condition” or “Btk -associated disease or disorder” are used herein, each is intended to encompass all of the conditions identified above as if repeated at length, as well as any other condition that is affected by Btk kinase activity.

“Therapeutically effective amount” is intended to include an amount of a compound of the present invention that is effective when administered alone or in combination to inhibit Btk.

One embodiment provides methods for treating such Btk kinase-associated conditions, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof at least one compound of Formula (I). A therapeutically-effective amount for treating such conditions may be administered. The methods of the present embodiment may be employed to treat Btk kinase-associated conditions such as treatment of allergic disorders and/or autoimmune and/or inflammatory diseases including, but not limited to, SLE, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple vasculitides, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), myasthenia gravis, allergic rhinitis, multiple sclerosis (MS), transplant rejection, Type I diabetes, membranous nephritis, inflammatory bowel disease, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, autoimmune thyroiditis, cold and warm agglutinin diseases, Evans syndrome, hemolytic uremic syndrome/thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (HUS/TTP), sarcoidosis, Sjögren's syndrome, peripheral neuropathies (e.g., Guillain-Barre syndrome), pemphigus vulgaris, and asthma.

Therapeutically-effective amounts of at least one compound of Formula (I) and other suitable therapeutic agents for treating such conditions may be administered. Accordingly, “therapeutically effective amount” is also intended to include an amount of the combination of compounds claimed that is effective to treat Btk kinase-associated conditions. The combination of compounds is preferably a synergistic combination. Synergy, as described, for example, by Chou et al., Adv. Enzyme Regul., 22:27-55 (1984), occurs when the effect (in this case, inhibition of Btk) of the compounds when administered in combination is greater than the additive effect of the compounds when administered alone as a single agent. In general, a synergistic effect is most clearly demonstrated at sub-optimal concentrations of the compounds. Synergy can be in terms of lower cytotoxicity, increased anti-Btk effect, or some other beneficial effect of the combination compared with the individual components.

Exemplary of such other therapeutic agents include corticosteroids, rolipram, calphostin, cytokine-suppressive anti-inflammatory drugs (CSAIDs), 4-substituted imidazo[1,2-A]quinoxalines as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,200,750; Interleukin-10, glucocorticoids, salicylates, nitric oxide, and other immunosuppressants; nuclear translocation inhibitors, such as deoxyspergualin (DSG); non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen, celecoxib and rofecoxib; steroids such as prednisone or dexamethasone; antiviral agents such as abacavir; antiproliferative agents such as methotrexate, leflunomide, FK506 (tacrolimus, PROGRAF®); cytotoxic drugs such as azathiprine and cyclophosphamide; TNF-α inhibitors such as tenidap, anti-TNF antibodies or soluble TNF receptor, and rapamycin (sirolimus or RAPAMUNE®) or derivatives thereof.

The above other therapeutic agents, when employed in combination with the compounds of the present invention, may be used, for example, in those amounts indicated in the Physicians' Desk Reference (PDR) or as otherwise determined by one of ordinary skill in the art.

Accordingly, the present invention further includes compositions comprising one or more compounds of Formula (I) and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

A “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” refers to media generally accepted in the art for the delivery of biologically active agents to animals, in particular, mammals. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are formulated according to a number of factors well within the purview of those of ordinary skill in the art. These include without limitation the type and nature of the active agent being formulated; the subject to which the agent-containing composition is to be administered; the intended route of administration of the composition; and, the therapeutic indication being targeted. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include both aqueous and non-aqueous liquid media, as well as a variety of solid and semi-solid dosage forms. Such carriers can include a number of different ingredients and additives in addition to the active agent, such additional ingredients being included in the formulation for a variety of reasons, e.g., stabilization of the active agent, binders, etc., well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Descriptions of suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, and factors involved in their selection, are found in a variety of readily available sources such as, for example, Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 17th Edition (1985), which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

The compounds of Formula (I) may be administered by any means suitable for the condition to be treated, which may depend on the need for site-specific treatment or quantity of drug to be delivered. Topical administration is generally preferred for skin-related diseases, and systematic treatment preferred for cancerous or pre-cancerous conditions, although other modes of delivery are contemplated. For example, the compounds may be delivered orally, such as in the form of tablets, capsules, granules, powders, or liquid formulations including syrups; topically, such as in the form of solutions, suspensions, gels or ointments; sublingually; bucally; parenterally, such as by subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular or intrasternal injection or infusion techniques (e.g., as sterile injectable aqueous or non-aqueous solutions or suspensions); nasally such as by inhalation spray; topically, such as in the form of a cream or ointment; rectally such as in the form of suppositories; or liposomally. Dosage unit formulations containing non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles or diluents may be administered. The compounds may be administered in a form suitable for immediate release or extended release. Immediate release or extended release may be achieved with suitable pharmaceutical compositions or, particularly in the case of extended release, with devices such as subcutaneous implants or osmotic pumps.

Exemplary compositions for topical administration include a topical carrier such as Plastibase (mineral oil gelled with polyethylene).

Exemplary compositions for oral administration include suspensions which may contain, for example, microcrystalline cellulose for imparting bulk, alginic acid or sodium alginate as a suspending agent, methylcellulose as a viscosity enhancer, and sweeteners or flavoring agents such as those known in the art; and immediate release tablets which may contain, for example, microcrystalline cellulose, dicalcium phosphate, starch, magnesium stearate and/or lactose and/or other excipients, binders, extenders, disintegrants, diluents and lubricants such as those known in the art.

Exemplary compositions for rectal administration include suppositories which may contain, for example, suitable non-irritating excipients, such as cocoa butter, synthetic glyceride esters or polyethylene glycols, which are solid at ordinary temperatures but liquefy and/or dissolve in the rectal cavity to release the drug.

The therapeutically-effective amount of a compound of the present invention may be determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, and includes exemplary dosage amounts for a mammal of from about 0.05 to 1000 mg/kg; 1-1000 mg/kg; 1-50 mg/kg; 5-250 mg/kg; 250-1000 mg/kg of body weight of active compound per day, which may be administered in a single dose or in the form of individual divided doses, such as from 1 to 4 times per day. It will be understood that the specific dose level and frequency of dosage for any particular subject may be varied and will depend upon a variety of factors, including the activity of the specific compound employed, the metabolic stability and length of action of that compound, the species, age, body weight, general health, sex and diet of the subject, the mode and time of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination, and severity of the particular condition. Preferred subjects for treatment include animals, most preferably mammalian species such as humans, and domestic animals such as dogs, cats, horses, and the like. Thus, when the term “patient” is used herein, this term is intended to include all subjects, most preferably mammalian species, that are affected by mediation of Btk enzyme levels.

Methods of Preparation

Compounds of Formula (I) can be prepared using methods shown in Scheme 1.

Substituted boronic esters 1, wherein Z represents a substituted monocyclic or fused bicyclic heterocyclic ring (substituent Q in compounds of Formula (I)), can be reacted with substituted carbazolecarboxamides or tetrahydrocarbazolecarboxamides 2 (wherein Y is an appropriate group such as Br, Cl or trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy) to provide compounds 3. This reaction may be performed by using a suitable base such as potassium carbonate, cesium carbonate or tripotassium phosphate, and a suitable catalyst such as tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium, 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene palladium(II) chloride, or 1,1′-bis(di-tert-butylphosphino)ferrocene palladium(II) chloride, in a suitable solvent such as dioxane or tetrahydrofuran, optionally with a suitable cosolvent such as water. Such coupling reactions are commonly known as Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions, and are well known in the chemical literature (see, for example, Heravi, M. M. et al., Tetrahedron, 68:9145 (2012), and references cited therein).

Due to the non-symmetric nature of the rings connected by the single bonds labeled a and b in Scheme 1, and due to limited rotation about these bonds caused by steric hindrance, compounds of the current invention display chirality, known as atropisomerism. Thus, under certain conditions, such as chromatography on a chiral stationary phase, the four diastereomeric atropisomers (arising from limited rotation about the two stereogenic axes) can be observed as four separate peaks in the chromatogram. Compounds of Formula (I) can be isolated either as stable mixtures of from two to four diastereomeric atropisomers, or as single stable atropisomers.

Since 1 is racemic, compounds 3 will normally be isolated as mixtures of four diastereomeric atropisomers. Alternatively, racemic compounds 1 can be converted into single atropisomers 1a and 1b, with the absolute configurations shown, using methods known in the art, such as preparative chromatography on a chiral stationary phase. Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions as described above can then convert 1a into compounds 3a, or 1b into 3b, having the absolute configurations shown about bond b but a mixture of two configurations about bond a, as long as the conditions of the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction are such that isomerization about bond b does not occur. Compounds 3a and 3b will thus exist as a mixture of two diastereomeric atropisomers.

As shown in Scheme 2, compounds 3, which are mixtures of four diastereomeric atropisomers, can be separated into four single stable diastereomeric atropisomers 3c, 3d, 3e and 3f, using methods known in the art, such as chromatography on a chiral stationary phase. Alternatively, compounds 3a (mixtures of two diastereomeric atropisomers) can be separated into single stable atropisomers 3c and 3d, and compounds 3b (mixtures of two diastereomeric atropisomers) can likewise be separated into single stable atropisomers 3e and 3f.

In the case where 2 is a substituted tetrahydrocarbazole carboxamide (where the dashed lines represent single bonds), 2 also contains a chiral center, and thus can exist as a racemate. In this case, compounds 3 prepared from these compounds 2 will exist as a mixture of eight diastereomers, each of 3a and 3b will exist as a mixture of four diastereomers, and each of 3c, 3d, 3e and 3f will exist as a mixture of two diastereomers. Any of these mixtures can also be separated into single stable diastereomers using methods known in the art, such as chromatography on a chiral stationary phase. Alternatively, compounds 2 can be converted into two separated enantiomers using methods known in the art, such as chromatography on a chiral stationary phase.

In some cases where one of the coupling intermediates 1 or 2 in Scheme 1 is non-racemic, chiral induction can occur during the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions shown in Scheme 1. In these cases, mixtures of diastereomers can be obtained which are not equimolar mixtures; that is, the product 3 can be a mixture of diastereomers in which one or more of the diastereomers, having bond a with one absolute configuration, is present to a greater extent than one or more diastereomers having bond a with the opposite absolute configuration.

An alternative method for the synthesis of certain compounds of Formula (I) is shown in Scheme 3. A suitably substituted 4-arylimino-1H-benzo[d][1,3]oxazin-2(4H)-one 4 can react with 2 under conditions of the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction as described above, to provide compounds of Formula (I) having structure 5. During the course of the reaction, the 4-arylimino-1H-benzo[d][1,3]oxazin-2(4H)-one moiety present in 4 rearranges to the 3-arylquinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-dione moiety present in the reaction product 5.

Compounds 1 of Scheme 1, used in the preparation of compounds of Formula (I), can be prepared by a variety of methods. Some of these methods are shown in Scheme 4. An isatoic anhydride 6 can react with a substituted aniline 7 (wherein Y′ is an appropriate group such as Br, Cl or trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy) to produce an amide 8. Such reactions can be carried out under a variety of conditions, for example by heating in a suitable solvent, or by heating in the presence of an auxiliary reagent such as trimethylaluminum. A compound 8 can be converted into a substituted quinazolinedione 9, for example by treatment in a suitable solvent with phosgene or triphosgene. Optionally, 9 can be converted to the corresponding boronate ester 10 (which is an example of a compound 1 of Scheme 1) using methods well known in the chemical literature (see, for example, Ishiyama, T. et al., Tetrahedron, 57:9813 (2001), and references cited therein). Examples of such methods are the reaction of 9 with a borylating reagent such as 4,4,4′,4′,5,5,5′,5′-octamethyl-2,2′-bi(1,3,2-dioxaborolane) or 5,5,5′,5′-tetramethyl-2,2′-bi(1,3,2-dioxaborinane) in the presence of a base such as potassium acetate and a suitable catalyst such as 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene palladium(II) chloride in a suitable solvent.

Alternatively, a compound 9 can optionally be converted into a compound 11 where R_(a) is an alkyl group, using methods known well known in the chemical literature, for example by treatment with an alkylating agent such as iodomethane or trideuteroiodomethane in the presence of a suitable base such as cesium carbonate. A compound 11 can then be converted into the corresponding boronate ester 12 (which is an example of compound 1 of Scheme 1) using the same methods described above. A compound 10 can also be optionally converted into the corresponding compound 12 by methods similar to those described for the conversion of 9 into 11.

Compounds 10 and 12 display chirality due to hindered rotation about the single bond connecting the substituted phenyl ring to the quinazolinedione moiety. If desired, these compounds can be resolved into separate enantiomeric atropisomers, for example by chromatography on a chiral stationary phase. The separated enantiomeric atropisomers of 10 can then optionally be converted into stable enantiomeric atropisomers of 12 as described above to provide certain examples of the compounds la or 1b of Scheme 1. Likewise, racemic quinazolinediones 12 can also be resolved into separate enantiomeric atropisomers.

An alternative synthesis of intermediate compounds 8 of Scheme 4 is shown in Scheme 5. A substituted 2-nitrobenzoic acid 13 can be converted to a compound 14 using well-known amide bond forming reactions, for example by conversion of 8 to the corresponding carboxylic acid chloride and reaction with a substituted aniline 7, or by direct reaction of 13 and 7 in the presence of a suitable coupling reagent such O-(7-azabenzotriazol-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HATU), or a mixture of 1-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-3-ethyl-carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole hydrate (HOBT), using methods well known in the literature. The nitro group of 14 can then be reduced, using one of a wide variety of methods known in the literature, to give a compound 8 of Scheme 4.

Compounds 4 of Scheme 3 can be prepared using the method shown in Scheme 6. An N-substituted isatoic anhydride 15, wherein R_(a) is an alkyl group, can react with a substituted aniline 7 to produce an amide 16. Such reactions can be carried out under a variety of conditions as described above, for example by heating in a suitable solvent, or by heating in the presence of an auxiliary reagent such as trimethylaluminum. A compound 16 can be converted into a substituted aryliminobenzoxazinone 17, for example by treatment in a suitable solvent with phosgene or triphosgene. A compound 17 can then be converted into the corresponding boronate ester 4 using methods similar to those described above for the conversion of a compound 10 or a compound 11 into a compound 12 (see Scheme 4).

Some additional methods which can be used to prepare certain compounds 1, used in the preparation of compounds of Formula (I), are shown in Scheme 7. A substituted pyridyl-2-acetic acid 18, or a salt of a substituted pyridyl-2-acetic acid such as a sodium salt (which are either commercially available or can be prepared by methods well known in the chemical literature), can be reacted with an aniline 7 under a variety of methods well known in the chemical literature to provide an amide 19. For example, the reaction can be performed in the presence of a coupling reagent such as O-(7-azabenzotriazol-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HATU), or a mixture of 1-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-3-ethyl-carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole hydrate (HOBT). An amide 19 can be converted into the corresponding substituted 1H-pyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidine-1,3(2H)-dione 20 by heating with a reagent such as carbonyldiimidazole in an appropriate solvent such as toluene. A compound 20 can be converted into the corresponding boronate ester 21 (which is an example of an intermediate 1 of Scheme 1) using methods previously described (see Scheme 4). Alternatively, a compound 19 can be converted into the corresponding boronate ester 22 using methods previously described (see Scheme 4), followed by conversion of 22 to 21 by heating with a reagent such as carbonyldiimidazole.

In Scheme 7, the pyridyl ring in the structures shown can also be replaced with another nitrogen heterocycle, such as a thiazole. In this case, the corresponding compounds 20 and 21 will contain a 5H-thiazolo[3,2-c]pyrimidine-5,7(6H)-dione moiety in place of the 1H-pyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidine-1,3(2H)-dione moiety shown.

Compounds 21 display chirality due to hindered rotation about the single bond joining the substituted phenyl ring with the substituted 1H-pyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidine-1,3(2H)-dione moiety. If desired, these racemic compounds can be resolved into separate enantiomeric atropisomers, for example by chromatography on a chiral stationary phase, to provide certain examples of the intermediates 1a and 1b of Scheme 1.

Preparation of a compound 1 of Scheme 1, wherein Z represents a substituted pyrimidine-1,3-dione moiety, can be achieved using the method shown in Scheme 8, following a general procedure reported by Cao, J. et al. (Synthetic Commun., 39:205 (2009)). Compound 23 can be prepared by reacting p-methoxybenzylamine, methyl acrylate and phenyl hypobromoselenoite. This material can be reacted with an appropriate aryl isocyanate 24 (which can be prepared from the aniline 7 shown in Scheme 4, using methods well known in the chemical literature) to provide the substituted dihydropyrimidine-1,3-dione 25. Treatment of this compound with an oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide can provide the substituted pyrimidine-1,3-dione 26. Removal of the p-methoxybenzyl group of 26 can be achieved using a number of methods reported in the chemical literature, for example by treatment with a mixture of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid and trifluoroacetic acid (as reported by Wu, F. et al., Org. Chem., 69:9307 (2004)). The resulting pyrimidine-1,3-dione 27 can be reacted with an aryl boronic acid such as 4-fluorobenzeneboronic acid, for example using conditions described by Jacobsen, M. F. et al. (J. Org. Chem., 71:9183 (2006)) to provide 28 (wherein Ar represents 4-fluorophenyl). This can then be converted to the boronate ester 29, which is an example of a compound 1 of Scheme 1, using methods similar to those described above.

Compounds 2 shown in Scheme 1, used in the preparation of compounds of Formula (I), can be prepared using procedures shown in Scheme 9. A substituted 2-aminobenzoic acid 30 (known in the literature, or prepared using procedures known in the literature) can be converted to the corresponding 2-hydrazinylbenzoic acid 31 as the hydrochloric acid salt using methods well known in the literature, for example by conversion to the corresponding diazonium salt by treatment with sodium nitrite in aqueous hydrochloric acid, followed by reduction with tin(II) chloride. Reaction of 31 with ethyl 3-oxocyclohexanecarboxylate 32 (which can be prepared from ethyl 3-hydroxybenzoate; see for example Hirsch, J. et al., J. Org. Chem., 51:2218 (1986)) in a suitable solvent with an appropriate catalyst, for example ethanol with hydrochloric acid, toluene with p-toluenesulfonic acid or trifluoroacetic acid, or acetic acid (in which case the solvent also can serve as the catalyst), can provide the corresponding tetrahydrocarbazole derivative 33. This reaction is commonly known as the Fischer indole synthesis, and is well known in the chemical literature (for example, see Kamata, J. et al., Chem. Pharm. Bull., 52:1071 (2004)). Alternatively, the Fischer indole synthesis can be carried out in two consecutive steps: 31 can react with 32 under suitable conditions (such as in an appropriate solvent such as ethanol or toluene, optionally with a suitable catalyst such as p-toluenesulfonic acid) to form an intermediate hydrazone, which can be isolated and then reacted further under suitable conditions (for example, ethanol with hydrochloric acid, acetic acid with zinc chloride, or toluene with trifluoroacetic acid) to provide 33.

A carboxylic acid 33 can be converted to the corresponding carboxamide 34 using methods well known in the chemical literature, for example by conversion of 33 to the acid chloride by treatment with oxalyl chloride or thionyl chloride, followed by treatment with ammonia; or by treatment of 33 with ammonia in the presence of a coupling reagent such as carbodiimide, or a mixture of N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N′-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole or 1-hydroxy-7-azabenzotriazole. Conversion of a tetrahydrocarbazole 34 to the corresponding carbazole 35 can be performed using methods well known in the chemical literature, for example by treatment of 34 with an oxidizing agent such as 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone in a suitable solvent.

Alternatively, the order of the amide formation and oxidation steps can be reversed to convert 33 to 35. Thus, a compound 33 can be oxidized using the procedure described above, or a similar procedure, to give the corresponding compound 36. The carboxylic acid of this compound can then be converted into the corresponding primary amide, again using a procedure described above or a similar procedure, to give the corresponding compound 35.

Conversion of 35 to the corresponding tertiary carbinol substituted carbazolecarboxamide 37 (which is an example of compound 2 in Scheme 1) can be performed using methods well known in the chemical literature, for example by treatment of 35 with a reagent such as methyllithium, methylmagnesium bromide or methylmagnesium chloride. Alternatively, conversion of 34 to the corresponding tertiary carbinol substituted tetrahydrocarbazole carboxamide 38 (which is another example of compound 2 in Scheme 1) can be performed using a similar procedure.

Compounds 33, 34 and 38 contain a chiral center, and thus exist as two enantiomers. Preparation of 33, 34 and 38 as shown in Scheme 9 provides racemic products, which may be used to prepare compounds of Formula (I) as shown in Scheme 1. Alternatively, 33, 34 and 38 may be resolved into separated enantiomers, using well-known methods such as chromatography on a chiral stationary phase.

Certain compounds 2 of Scheme 1, used to prepare compounds of Formula (I), may also be prepared using procedures shown in Scheme 10. Compound 39, prepared from the appropriate 2-hydrazinylbenzoic acid as shown in Scheme 9 (see U.S. Pat. No. 8,084,620, Intermediate 48-1) can be treated with an appropriate halogenating reagent to give 40, where R₁ is a halogen atom. For example, treatment of 39 with a chlorinating reagent such as N-chlorosuccinimide can give 40 where R₁ is Cl, and treatment of 39 with a fluorinating reagent such as 1-(chloromethyl)-4-fluoro-1,4-diazoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane-bis(tetrafluoroborate) [SELECTFLUOR®] can give 40 where R₁ is F. Treatment of 40 with methyllithium or a methylmagnesium halide as described for Scheme 9 can then provide compounds 37 where R₁ is F or Cl (which are examples of compounds 2 in Scheme 1).

Compound 37 where R₁ is CN can be prepared by an alternative procedure, also shown in Scheme 10. Compound 41, which can be prepared from compound 39 (see U.S. Pat. No. 8,084,620, Example 73-2) can be treated with an iodinating reagent such as N-iodosuccinimide to provide 37 where R₁ is I. This compound can be converted to 37 where R₁ is CN (an example of compound 2 in Scheme 1), for example by treatment with zinc cyanide in the presence of a catalyst such as tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium.

Another example of the preparation of a compound 2 of Scheme 1 is shown in Scheme 11. Using procedures described in Scheme 9 and similar procedures, the ketone 42 (which can be prepared by reaction of diethyl malonate with cyclohex-2-enone, using a number of methods reported in the literature) can be reacted with a hydrazinylbenzoic acid 31 to give a compound 43, which can then be converted to a compound 44 and subsequently to a compound 45 using methods described above for Scheme 9. Using methods known in the literature, for example heating with sodium chloride and water in a suitable solvent such as dimethyl sulfoxide, a compound 45 can be converted to a compound 46. The ester moiety of a compound 46 can then be reduced to the carbinol using procedures known in the literature, for example by treatment with lithium borohydride, to give a compound 47, which is an example of compound 2 of Scheme 1.

EXAMPLES

Compounds of the current invention, and intermediates used in the preparation of compounds of the current invention, can be prepared using procedures shown in the following examples and related procedures. The methods and conditions used in these examples, and the actual compounds prepared in these examples, are not meant to be limiting, but are meant to demonstrate how the compounds of the current invention can be prepared. Starting materials and reagents used in these examples, when not prepared by a procedure described herein, are generally either commercially available, or are reported in the chemical literature, or may be prepared by using procedures described in the chemical literature. The invention is further defined in the following Examples. It should be understood that the Examples are given by way of illustration only. From the above discussion and the Examples, one skilled in the art can ascertain the essential characteristics of the invention, and without departing from the spirit and scope thereof, can make various changes and modifications to adapt the invention to various uses and conditions. As a result, the invention is not limited by the illustrative examples set forth herein below, but rather defined by the claims appended hereto.

In the examples given, the phrase “dried and concentrated” generally refers to drying of a solution in an organic solvent over either sodium sulfate or magnesium sulfate, followed by filtration and removal of the solvent from the filtrate (generally under reduced pressure and at a temperature suitable to the stability of the material being prepared).

Column chromatography was generally performed using the flash chromatography technique (Still, W. C. et al., J. Org. Chem., 43:2923 (1978)), or with pre-packed silica gel cartridges using an Isco medium pressure chromatography apparatus (Teledyne Corporation), eluting with the solvent or solvent mixture indicated. Preparative high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was performed using a reverse phase column (Waters SunFire C₁₈, Waters) (Bridge C₁₈, PHENOMENEX® Axia C₁₈, YMC S5 ODS or the like) of a size appropriate to the quantity of material being separated, generally eluting with a gradient of increasing concentration of methanol or acetonitrile in water, also containing 0.05% or 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid or 10 mM ammonium acetate, at a rate of elution suitable to the column size and separation to be achieved. Chiral super-critical fluid chromatographic separation of enantiomers or atropisomers was performed using conditions described for the individual cases. Mass spectral data were obtained by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry using electrospray ionization.

Single crystal x-ray diffraction data were collected on a Bruker-AXS APEX2 CCD system using Cu Kα radiation (λ=1.5418 Å). Indexing and processing of the measured intensity data were carried out with the APEX2 software package/program suite (see the APEX2 User Manual, v1.27; Bruker AXS, Inc., WI 53711 USA). When indicated, crystals were cooled in the cold stream of an Oxford Cryosystems cryostream cooler (Cosier, J. et al., J. Appl. Cryst., 19:105 (1986)) during data collection. The structures were solved by direct methods and refined on the basis of observed reflections using the crystallographic package SHELXTL (see the APEX2 User Manual, v1.27; Bruker AXS, Inc., WI 53711 USA). The derived atomic parameters (coordinates and temperature factors) were refined through full matrix least-squares. The function minimized in the refinements was Σ_(W)(|F_(O)|−|F_(C)|)². R is defined as Σ∥F_(O)|−|F_(C)∥/Σ|F_(O)| while R_(W)=[Σ_(W)(|F_(O)|−|F_(C)|)²/Σ_(W)|F_(O)|²]^(1/2) where w is an appropriate weighting function based on errors in the observed intensities. Difference maps were examined at all stages of refinement. Hydrogens were introduced in idealized positions with isotropic temperature factors, but no hydrogen parameters were varied. Unit cell parameters were obtained according to the procedure described in Stout et al., X-Ray Structure Determination: A Practical Guide, MacMillan (1968).

Chemical names were determined using CHEMDRAW® Ultra, version 9.0.5 (CambridgeSoft). The following abbreviations are used:

The mixture was treated dropwise with 3 M methylmagnesium chloride in THF (395 mL, 1.19 mol) at a rate that the internal temperature remained between −15° C. and −10° C. After 5 h the mixture was poured into 3 vessels, each containing ca. 1.5 L of crushed ice and 500 mL of saturated aqueous NH₄Cl.

Bubbling with nitrogen was continued for 5 min more, then the mixture was heated at 62° C. under nitrogen for 20 h. The mixture was cooled to room temperature, MeOH (300 mL) was added with stirring followed 15 min later by the addition of water (2 L) to give a rusty brown colored gum. The supernatant was removed, the gummy residue was washed twice with water and then suspended in EtOAc (2 L) with stirring for one h. The mixture was filtered, the filtrate was concentrated to about 1-1.5 L and treated with heptane (3 L). The mixture was stirred for two days, the precipitate was collected by filtration, washed with heptane and dried under vacuum to give a yellow solid (104 g). The solid was dissolved in THF, absorbed on CELITE®, dried under vacuum, placed on a silica gel plug and eluted with heptane/EtOAc (10:90) to give an orange-yellow oil (74.87 g).

Biological Assays

The pharmacological properties of the compounds of this invention may be confirmed by a number of biological assays. The exemplified biological assays, which follow, have been carried out with compounds of the invention.

Human Recombinant Btk Enzyme Assay

To V-bottom 384-well plates were added test compounds, human recombinant Btk (1 nM, Invitrogen Corporation), fluoresceinated peptide (1.5 μM), ATP (20 μM), and assay buffer (20 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 10 mM MgCl₂, 0.015% Brij 35 surfactant and 4 mM DTT in 1.6% DMSO), with a final volume of 30 μL. After incubating at room temperature for 60 min, the reaction was terminated by adding 45 μL of 35 mM EDTA to each sample. The reaction mixture was analyzed on the Caliper LABCHIP® 3000 (Caliper, Hopkinton, Mass.) by electrophoretic separation of the fluorescent substrate and phosphorylated product. Inhibition data were calculated by comparison to no enzyme control reactions for 100% inhibition and no inhibitor controls for 0% inhibition. Dose response curves were generated to determine the concentration required for inhibiting 50% of kinase activity (IC₅₀). Compounds were dissolved at 10 mM in DMSO and evaluated at eleven concentrations.

Ramos FLIPR Assay

Ramos RA1 B cells (ATCC CRL-1596) at a density of 2×10⁶ cells/mL in RPMI minus phenol red (Invitrogen 11835-030) and 50 mM HEPES (Invitrogen 15630-130) containing 0.1% BSA (Sigma A8577) were added to one half volume of calcium loading buffer (BD bulk kit for probenecid sensitive assays, #640177) and incubated at room temperature in the dark for 1 hour. Dye-loaded cells were pelleted (Beckmann GS-CKR, 1200 rpm, room temperature, 5 min) and resuspended at room temperature in RPMI minus phenol red with 50 mM HEPES and 10% FBS to a density of 1×10⁶ cells/mL. 150 μL aliquots (150,000 cells/well) were plated into 96 well poly-D-lysine coated assay plates (BD 35 4640) and briefly centrifuged (Beckmann GS-CKR 800 rpm, 5 min, without brake). Next, 50 μL compound dilutions in 0.4% DMSO/RPMI minus phenol red+50 mM HEPES+10% FBS were added to the wells and the plate was incubated at room temperature in the dark for 1 hour. The assay plate was briefly centrifuged as above prior to measuring calcium levels.

Using the FLIPR1 (Molecular Devices), cells were stimulated by adding goat anti-human IgM (Invitrogen AHI0601) to 2.5 μg/mL. Changes in intracellular calcium concentrations were measured for 180 seconds and percent inhibition was determined relative to peak calcium levels seen in the presence of stimulation only.

Jak2 Tyrosine Kinase Assay

Compounds with activity against Jak2 tyrosine kinase have been observed to cause thrombocytopenia, anemia and neutropenia in human patients in clinical trials (see, for example, Pardanani, A., Leukemia, 26:1449-1451 (2012)). Jak2 signaling occurs thru EPO and TPO, which control erythrocyte and platelet proliferation, respectively. Thus, inhibition of Jak2 tyrosine kinase can potentially lead to side-effects in the clinic. Btk inhibitors with improved selectivity over Jak2 tyrosine kinase are desired in order to minimize off target side-effects related to the inhibition of Jak2 tyrosine kinase.

The assays were performed in V-bottom 384-well plates. The final assay volume was 30 μl prepared from 15 μl additions of enzyme and substrates (fluoresceinated peptide and ATP) and test compounds in assay buffer (100 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 10 mM MgCl₂, 25 mM beta-glycerolphosphate, 0.015% Brij 35 surfactant and 4 mM DTT). The reaction was initiated by the combination of Jak2 tyrosine kinase with substrates and test compounds. The reaction mixture was incubated at room temperature for 60 minutes and terminated by adding 45 μL of 35 mM EDTA to each sample. The reaction mixture was analyzed on the Caliper LABCHIP® 3000 by electrophoretic separation of the fluorescent substrate and phosphorylated product. Inhibition data were calculated by comparison to no enzyme control reactions for 100% inhibition and vehicle-only reactions for 0% inhibition. The final concentration of reagents in the assays is ATP, 30 μM; Jak2 fluorescent peptide, 1.5 μM; Jak2, 1 nM; and DMSO, 1.6%. Dose response curves were generated to determine the concentration required inhibiting 50% of kinase activity (IC₅₀). Compounds were dissolved at 10 mM in DMSO and evaluated at eleven concentrations, each in duplicate. IC₅₀ values were derived by non-linear regression analysis.

Whole Blood Assay of BCR-Stimulated CD69 Expression on B Cells

The efficacy of Btk inhibitor compounds in suppressing CD69 expression on B cells human in whole blood assays is useful for predicting efficacious doses in the clinic and minimizing potential side-effects. Btk inhibitor compounds having higher activity in the whole blood CD69 expression assay are expected to require lower doses than compounds having lower activity, and are expected to cause fewer unwanted side-effects. (Uetrecht, Chem. Res. Toxicol., 12:387-395 (1999); Nakayama, Drug Metabolism and Disposition, 37(9):1970-1977 (2009); Sakatis, Chem. Res. Toxicol. (2012)).

To measure BCR-stimulated B cells, ACD-A human whole blood was treated with various concentrations of test compound and stimulated with 30 μg/mL AffiniPure F(ab′)2 fragment goat anti human IgM (Jackson 109-006-1299-endotoxin cleared) and 10 ng/mL human IL-4 (PeproTech 200-04) for 18 h at 37° C. with agitation. The cells were blocked with human gamma globulin (Jackson 009-000-002) and stained with FITC-conjugated mouse anti-human CD20 (BD Pharmingen 555622) and PE-conjugated mouse anti-human CD69 monoclonal antibody (BD Pharmingen 555531), lysed and fixed, then washed. The amount of CD69 expression was quantitated by the median fluorescence intensity (MFI) after gating on the CD20-positive B cell population as measured by FACS analysis.

In the whole blood assay of BCR-Stimulated CD69 expression on B cells, increased efficacy of a Btk inhibitor compound is indicated by a lower CD69 IC₅₀ value.

The compounds of the present invention, as exemplified by Examples 1 to 74, have been compared to Comparative Examples 75 and 76, disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 8,084,620 and WO 2011/159857, respectively, and have been found to be advantageous. The compounds of the present invention have the surprising advantage of the combination of Btk inhibition activity and improved kinase selectivity of Btk inhibition activity over Jak2 inhibition activity. As shown in Table 11, in the reported tests, Examples 1 to 74 show the surprising advantage of the combination of efficacy of Btk inhibition activity and improved kinase selectivity of Btk inhibition activity over Jak2 inhibition activity, as characterized by the ratio of Jak2/Btk IC₅₀ values. Increased selectivity for Btk kinase over Jak2 kinase is indicated by a larger value for the ratio of the Jak2/Btk IC₅₀ values. Examples 1 to 74 had Btk IC₅₀ values of less than 5 nM and ratios of Jak2/Btk IC₅₀ values of 150 and greater. In contrast, Comparative Examples 75 and 76 had Btk IC₅₀ values of 2.6 and 6.9 nM and ratios of Jak2/Btk IC₅₀ values of 92 and 29, respectively.

Additionally, the compounds of the present invention, as exemplified by Examples 1 to 74, also have improved potency in the whole blood BCR-stimulated CD69 expression assay, compared to Comparative Example 75. As shown in Table 11, in the reported tests, Examples 1 to 74 show the surprising advantage of the combination of efficacy of Btk inhibition activity, improved kinase selectivity of Btk inhibition activity over Jak2 inhibition activity, and improved potency in the whole blood BCR-stimulated CD69 expression assay. Examples 1 to 74 had Btk IC₅₀ values of less than 5 nM, ratios of Jak2/Btk IC₅₀ values of 150 and greater, and CD69 IC₅₀ values of 260 nM and less.
